A new Rogers cell phone tower will be built in Renfrew County to help improve coverage.
The tower will be built on County of Renfrew forest property at Lalande Road and Little Ireland Road in the Township of Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan.
Rogers says the 90-meter telecommunications tower will provide wireless voice and data for the surrounding area.
The County of Renfrew had to clean up an administrative error in the title report as Rogers Communications indicated they require a clear title to work toward building the cell tower on the
land.
A county report indicates the administrative error has the Township of Raglan as the registered owner of the land which likely resulted from the transfer of a small parcel associated with a cemetery in 1997.
County Council has authorized the Warden and Clerk to execute a self-to-self transfer/deed to clean up the error and allow for the cell tower to go up.
